愛在黎明、日落、午夜時

這是一系列時間軸很清楚的電影，1995年到2013年，從日出、日落到午夜，Jesse 和 Celine 從浪漫邂逅到一起生活，我們從他們的對話一起見證歲月伴隨著愛情與生活歷練的軌跡。

1995「Before Sunrise」~兩人2X歲, 在火車上邂逅,談著對愛情和未來的可能性充滿了憧憬,走在維也納,浪漫的度過一天,並決定不牽絆彼此,不留聯絡方式,約定6個月後在維也納重逢~

2004「Before Sunset」~兩人3x歲，原來分開6個月後並沒有相見, 卻在9年後巴黎書店的一場簽書會上重逢, 再次相見 , 彼此都不再像2x歲時那麼天真, 有了對人生的無奈與辛苦的歷練, 聊著過去與現在, 原來還是很吸引彼此,結局很耐人尋味~

2013「Before Midnight」~兩人4X歲，走過憧憬愛情的年少時光、經歷過漫長的等待，兩人終究是在一起了，還有了兩個孩子~只是，當年眼神迷濛，又慧詰聰明的文藝美少女Celine終究在柴米油鹽醬醋茶中，累積了大量的不滿，無可避免的成為嘮叨又神經質的中年婦女；當年俊俏的文藝青年Jesse也成了滿臉鬍子、有點邋遢且不太受到自己青春期孩子歡迎的中年大叔~

花了十幾年的時間，用同樣的男女主角，來陳述人生和情感，跟著他們一起從年輕到成熟,兩人在約會過程中交談的過程居然就像發生在你我現實生活中的對話一樣自然，卻又經典到值得令人一再回味。

回頭去看1995年時期的相遇，對話還有一點點青澀，只是相處的空間裡，瀰漫著一點點互相試探的味道；然而愛情的發生不就是這樣？在一前一後的試探中，產生了曖昧與美麗的火花。那是對人生還有很多疑惑的年紀，所以Celine和Jesse兩人的對話充滿許多假設性的問題，但每個決定都充滿了衝動與勇氣：

假設未來的某一天....你也許不會後悔今日

Jump ahead 10, 20 years, okay? And you're married. Only your marriage doesn't have that same energy that it used to have.You start to blame your husband. You think about all those guys you've met in your life... and what might happened if you'd picked up with one of them. Well, I'm one of those guys. That's me. So think of this as time travel... from then to now to find out what you're missing out on. See, what this really could be is a gigantic favor... to you and your future husband to find out that you're not missing out anything. I'm just as big a loser as he is, totally unmotivated, boring. And you made the right choice, and you're happy.

如果不再見面，如果我們只有今晚....

It's not so bad if tonight is our only night, right? People exchange numbers, addresses. They end up writing once, calling each other once or twice. Right. Fizzles out.

Why does everybody think relationships should last forever, anyway? I mean, that tonight's our only night? It's the only way, no? Well, all right. Let's do it. No delusions, no projections.

2004年再度重逢的對白裡，則沾染了些經歷過人生風雨的無奈感，理解到原來能遇到心靈相繫的人有多麼不容易，此時的相處氛圍依然自然卻充滿了濃濃的思念、深深的遺憾與強烈的渴望~

I guess when you're young , you just believe there will be many people with whom you'll connect with. Later in life, you realize it only happens a few times.

Even being alone...it's better than sitting next to a lover and feeling lonely.

you know what? I'm just happy to see you. Even if you've become an angry, manic depressive activist, I still like you, I still enjoy being around you

Baby...you gonna miss that plane....

I know...

2013年我們終於等到Celine and Jesse 實踐愛情，進入現實生活後的對話，就像世界上所有進入婚姻的夫妻一般不再夢幻，甚至充滿了互潑冷水及激烈爭吵；只是最終，Jesse對Celine的守護依然溫柔，在希臘的午夜，還是和好且準備再繼續忍受彼此，即使夢幻不再，但對於喜愛他們的影迷而言，並不失望，因為.....That's real life~

If you want true love, then this is it. This is real life. It's not perfect but it's real. And if you can't see it then you're blind.

Will you be able to put up with me for another 56 years？

I am looking forward to it.

於是我跟著Celine一起落淚了...最美的愛情也許就是在激情淡去後，用真實的包容一起實踐生活

九年後，也許我們的老朋友Celine 和Jesse 鬢角都已斑白，不知道是不是還有機會能再看到兩人一來一往精彩幽默又充滿哲理的對話，從中體會他們的情感歷練和生命哲學?

無論如何，我已經開始期待了~
